Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Our exposure to market risk includes changes in foreign exchange rates. We have operations in foreign countries where the functional currency is primarily the local currency. For international operations that are determined to be extensions of the parent company, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. We typically have naturally hedged positions in most countries from a local currency perspective with offsetting assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate or hedge the effect of adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we have entered into cross currency swap contracts to hedge a portion of our net investment in a foreign subsidiary against volatility in foreign exchange rates. These contracts are recorded at fair value that is based on foreign currency exchange rates in active markets; therefore, we classify these derivative contracts within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We do not enter into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Undesignated Derivative Instruments

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts in order to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. These forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate notional value of these outstanding forward contracts was $167 million and $116 million, respectively. The changes in fair value of these forward contracts are recorded in prepaid and other assets or other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in selling and general expenses in the consolidated statement of income. The amount recorded in other current liabilities as of June 30, 2020 was $2 million. The amount recorded in selling and general expense related to these contracts was a net gain of $7 million and a net loss of $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and a net gain of $3 million and $5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Net Investment Hedges

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, we entered into cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investment in a certain European subsidiary against volatility in the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate. These swaps are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign subsidiary and are scheduled to mature in 2024, 2025 and 2026. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the notional value of our outstanding cross currency swaps designated as a net investment hedge was $1 billion and $400 million, respectively. The changes in the fair value of swaps are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of other comprehensive income (loss), and reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheet. The gain or loss will be subsequently reclassified into net earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to assess the effectiveness of our net investment hedges based on changes in spot exchange rates. Accordingly, amounts related to the cross currency swaps recognized directly in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 represent net periodic interest settlements and accruals, which are recognized in interest expense, net. We recognized net interest income of $2 million and $5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, we entered into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of the Indian rupee, British pound, and Euro exposures through the second quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. These contracts are intended to offset the impact of movement of exchange rates on future revenue and operating costs and are scheduled to mature within twenty-four months. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheet and are subsequently reclassified into revenue and selling and general expenses in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings.

As of June 30, 2020, we estimate that $1 million of the net losses related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate notional value of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $442 million and $249 million, respectively.
